enabling web services-n-browsing

Hi,
I have an alpha 1200 with tru64 5.1b with latest patch-kit.
I have configured the network card and I am able to ping to my network as well as to my gateway. However I am unable to browse.
Are the DNS setting required to be done locally?Presently I am trying to use the ISP DNS which works well for rest of my intel Microsoft platforms.
Somebody may pls help..

What do you mean with browse ?
Are you talking about netscape/mozilla or nslookup.
For DNS to work, you need a nameserver entry in /etc/resolv.conf like: (see manpage resolv.conf)

nameserver

Also put an entry in /etc/hosts that translates this IP into a name.

Then run nslookup to see if you can resolve www.hp.com . If not post the output from nslookup and netstat -rn.

Rgds,
